Patient Report – Next on the report, is the Patient Report section. The Patient Report is tasked with collecting the medical details of the patient. These details include medical details such as the Diagnosis, Allergy Information, Medical History, and Code Status.
When a patient has been registered for care in a healthcare institution, nurses form to be one of the primary groups in-charge of taking care of the said patients. In order to make sure that they are able to provide the optimum required care, nurses use a tool known as the Nursing Report Sheet.
A report sheet like this does a great job of giving the charge nurse a few boxes to check . . . of just the important stuff (vent, isolation, foley). Every now and then I will post a pic of a typical IV pole for an ICU patient.
Giving a thorough and accurate report during change-of-shift is critical for patients, but it can give any new/student nurse anxiety beyond belief. In my early nursing days there were times I:
For the longest time I have tried pushing the brain sheet that worked for me onto new students and newbie nurses. I’ve changed my tone.
The response was AMAZING (to say the least). We received over 100 report sheet templates from nurses working in MedSurg, ICU, ED, OB, Peds, Tele . . . you name it.
This is the report sheet that my preceptor used to make me fill out prior to the end of each shift as a newbie. To be honest, at first I was so annoyed that I had to spend like an hour at the end of each shift filling this out. It wasn’t until I realized I was able to give a badass report that I was finally grateful she made me fill this out.
Some people like it simple . . .this is the sheet for you. With slight prompting this sheet makes a great tool for the MedSurg or Tele nurse on the GO!
I love this one. At first glance it looks basic . . . put at closer inspection you start to see all the details and information you have available with it. From lab values, to foley care, to last pain med, this is would be a great one for a nurse that has a flow and just wants a simple push to stay a bit more organized.
I’m a visual learner. This one just grabs my attention. I like the top section for the “essentials” like blood sugars, DX, and Pt info. I also really like the area below the charts to draw little notes about your physical assessment. I really like this nursing brain sheet for beginner or experience nurse.
I’ll be honest . . . after a couple years of being a nurse my “brainsheet” has evolved into more of a few freehand drawing on a sheet of paper. If that sounds like you, this is probably the one for you. With little more than a few suggestions . . . this is a pretty basic organizer for nurses.
The report sheets enable the nurses to record clear information regarding details including the diagnosis, history, allergies, consults, vital signs, lab results, and other such health-related data. Due to their excellent recording system, nursing report sheets are used by physicians, doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff all over the world. ...
In medical circles, reporting refers to the act of transferring relevant information. In most cases, this information refers to the patient information that is transferred from one nurse to another during the change of shift. There are numerous occasions that require reporting.
It allows nurses and doctors to continue treating and providing care to their patients even when during shift interchange.
Due to this, it is very important that nurses are able to gather the required information. To help with this situation, ICU Nursing Reports were brought into action. ICU Nursing Reports are used to obtain a list of essential details regarding the patient who has been admitted to the ICU.
This section is responsible for generating all the details regarding the patient such as Date of Birth, Gender etc. of the patient.
A6. In simple terms, a flow sheet is a single or dual-page form, tasked with the job of gathering all important aspects of a patient’s condition. Similar to the other nursing reports, the flow sheet is tasked with gathering patient information.
Labs – Labs refers to the various patient reports which have been derived from the numerous tests conducted on the patient. The constituents of this section are Labs, Needed Labs, and Future Procedures. Completion – Completion is the final section of a nursing report template.
They are common in nursing, especially when you are just starting off, to organize your thoughts and tasks throughout the shift. Yes, it’s called a brain sheet because literally, this becomes your BRAIN.
Nursing Handoff: an essential yet terrifying part of your job as a new nurse. If you have ever felt overwhelmed, unprepared, or straight up shoook during handoff, you are not alone. Giving a thorough and accurate report during change-of-shift is critical for patients, but it can give any new/student nurse anxiety beyond belief.
